HOD Corner
Dear
Readers,
It
gives me immense pleasure to present the August 2025 edition of our Department
of Electrical Engineering Newsletter. This month has been filled with vibrant
learning experiences, meaningful collaborations, and inspiring achievements by
our students and faculty members.
From
expert lectures and industry visits to active participation in workshops and
live projects with reputed organizations like ABB and MSETCL, our department
continues to strengthen the bridge between academic learning and industrial
practice. The initiatives like the Energy Awareness Program at Saraswati Vidya Mandir
and the NSS celebration with our soldiers at the Artillery Centre remind us
that engineering is not just about technology—it is about service,
responsibility, and human values.
Our
students have made us proud by excelling in competitions and representing the
department at national platforms. Faculty members, too, have contributed to
research and development activities, fostering innovation and academic growth.
I take
this opportunity to appreciate the sincere efforts of our students, faculty, and
staff in keeping the spirit of learning alive. Let us continue to work together
toward building a sustainable, innovative, and value-based future.

Environmental Crisis
Surve
Krishna Ramesh SY-A, (Electrical)Krishnasurve158@gmail.comThe term
energy crisis refers to the imbalance between the demand and supply of energy resources,
leading to shortages, rising costs, and adverse impacts on human life and the
environment. With rapid industrialization, urbanization, and technological
development, the world’s dependence on energy—particularly fossil fuels like
coal, oil, and natural gas—has grown exponentially. However, these resources
are finite and depleting at a faster rate due to overconsumption.
The crisis is
not only about scarcity but also about the sustainability of energy sources.
Fossil fuel-based energy contributes heavily to climate change, environmental
pollution, and ecological imbalance. At the same time, many regions of the
world still lack access to affordable and reliable energy, which hinders social
and economic development.
Thus, the
energy crisis has become a major global challenge. It affects individuals in
terms of lifestyle and well-being, families through rising household costs,
societies by creating inequality and dependence, and nature through
environmental degradation. Addressing the crisis requires a shift toward
renewable energy, efficient energy use, and responsible consumption aligned
with Universal Human Values such as sustainability, justice, and respect for
nature.
Introduction
to Energy Crisis:
The energy
crisis is one of the most pressing challenges faced by humanity today. The
rising demand for electricity, transport, and industrial growth has put
enormous pressure on finite fossil fuels, resulting in environmental
degradation, climate change, and unequal access to energy. To overcome this, we
need an all-encompassing solution that addresses human aspirations at all four
levels: Individual, Family, Society, and Nature/Existence.
1. Individual Level:
At the
personal level, individuals can adopt energy-efficient lifestyles. Simple
actions like switching to LED lights, reducing wastage of electricity, using
public transport, or opting for solar-powered devices contribute significantly.
Cultivating awareness and responsibility in daily choices empowers individuals
to live sustainably without compromising comfort.
2. Family Level:
Families play
a key role in shaping habits. By adopting rooftop solar systems, rainwater
harvesting, and energy-efficient appliances, households can reduce dependence
on non-renewable energy sources. Encouraging family members to practice
conscious consumption—such as turning off appliances when not in use or
minimizing car usage—helps create a culture of shared responsibility.
3. Society Level:
At the
societal level, collective measures such as promoting renewable energy
industries, investing in electric mobility, and supporting community-level
solar and wind farms are vital. Governments and institutions can design
policies that ensure affordable, clean energy access to all, reducing
inequality and dependence on imported fuels. Social campaigns on energy
conservation can also inspire large-scale behavioral change.
4. Nature/Existence Level:
For true
sustainability, solutions must align with the harmony of nature. Transitioning
from fossil fuels to renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass
help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and restore ecological balance.
Protecting forests, water bodies, and natural resources ensures that energy
generation does not harm the environment but rather coexists with it.
5. Alignment with Universal Human Values:
This solution
is grounded in Universal Human Values such as trust (individuals trusting that
their small contributions matter), respect (for natural resources and future
generations), justice (fair access to clean energy for all), and sustainability
(ensuring resources are preserved for the long term).
Conclusion:
The energy
crisis is more than a shortage of resources—it reflects our lifestyle choices
and our relationship with nature. While fossil fuels have powered growth, their
overuse has led to scarcity, pollution, and climate change. The way forward
lies in a balanced approach that combines individual responsibility, family
practices, societal policies, and respect for nature.
By conserving
energy, adopting renewable sources, and fostering awareness, we not only reduce
dependence on depleting fuels but also uphold Universal Human Values like
trust, respect, justice, and sustainability. Solving the crisis requires both
technological solutions and a change in human behavior. If every level of
society contributes, the crisis can turn into an opportunity for building a
sustainable and harmonious future.
